My Preferences

With the selections in My Preferences, you can make the recorder work more to your

liking: you can set Parental Controls and your default Record Quality, customize channel

lists, turn on Save Disk Space, and set a number of other options.

Parental Controls

Parental Controls allow you to set limits on movie and television ratings and to lock

specific channels so that a password is required to view them. If you try to watch a

program in Now Playing that violates a Parental Control, you will also be asked for the

password. In addition, when Parental Controls are on, you must enter a password to delete

a program that violates a Parental Control.

The padlock icon shows the current state of Parental Controls:

Off. No password or controls set. Padlock appears unlocked and dark.

On. Password and controls set. Padlock appears locked and bright.

Temporarily disabled. Controls set but password was entered to temporarily

disable. Padlock appears unlocked and bright.

While Parental Controls are on, you can watch a locked program or channel by pressing

SELECT, then entering the Parental Controls password. This temporarily disables

Parental Controls.

(The large version of the channel banner has a shortcut to Parental Controls; see page 28

for details.)
